DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
If your vehicle is equipped with dual
fuel tanks, you will have a selector
control, located to the right of the
steering wheel, which allows you to
draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel
gauge will display the amount of
fuel in the currently selected tank.
Fuel level indication is delayed for several minutes when the tank
selector switch is actuated. Fuel level indication can be obtained
immediately by turning off and restarting the engine.

Integrated hitch rating
The standard integrated hitch has two ratings depending on mode of
operation:
•Weight carrying- requires a draw bar and hitch ball. The draw bar
supports all the vertical tongue load of the trailer.
•Weight distributing- requires an aftermarket weight distributing
system which includes draw bar, hitch ball, spring bars and snap-up
brackets. The vertical tongue load of the trailer is distributed between
the truck and the trailer by this system.

•sustained, high speed driving at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(maximum loaded weight for vehicle operation during hot
weather-above 90°F [32°C]).
•frequent or extended idling (over 10 minutes per hour of normal
driving).
•operating in severe dust conditions.
•frequent, short trips of 10 miles (16 km) or less during freezing
weather
If you are operating your vehicle under any of these conditions, observe
the following service procedures:
•Change engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
•Use Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil conforming to Ford
Specification WSS-M2C171–D or API categories CI-4, CI–4/SL, CI-4
PLUS or DHD-1. If CI-4 oil is not available, CH-4 is acceptable.
For more information refer thescheduled maintenance information
section of this supplement.
AIR FILTER
When replacing the air filter element, use the Motorcraft air filter
element listed. Refer to theMotorcraft part numberschart in this
chapter.
Note: Do not start your engine with the air cleaner removed and do not
remove it while the engine is running.
Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe
engine damage.
•E-series air filter element:
1. Disconnect the hoses from the air cleaner outlet tube.
2. Loosen the clamp and disconnect
the air cleaner outlet tube.

5. Pull up on the filter element to
remove it.
6. Installation is reverse of removal.
When servicing the air filter, always be sure that the auxiliary
hose is not kinked or obstructed and that it is placed back into
the hole in the front cowl near the back of the headlamp. Check
all hose and wiring positions. Failure to do so may result in
severe engine damage when driving through deep water and/or
encountering unusually heavy precipitation conditions.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM(S) LAWS
Federal law prohibits vehicle manufacturers, dealers and other persons
engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing or trading
motor vehicles as well as fleet operations from unknowingly removing or
rendering emission control system(s) inoperative. Further, modifications
of the emission control system(s) could create liability on the part of the
individual owners under the laws of some states. In Canada,
modifications of the emission control system(s) could create liability
under applicable Federal or Provincial laws.
Do not remove or alter the original equipment floor covering or
insulation between it and the metal floor of the vehicle. The floor
covering and insulation protect occupants of the vehicle from the engine
and exhaust system heat and noise. On vehicles with no original
equipment floor covering insulation, do not carry passengers in a manner
that permits prolonged skin contact with the metal floor. Provide
adequate insulation.
NOISE EMISSIONS WARRANTY, PROHIBITED TAMPERING ACTS
AND MAINTENANCE
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation became effective governing the
noise emission on trucks over 10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating). The following statements concerning prohibited
tampering acts and maintenance, and the noise warranty found in the
Warranty Facts Booklet, are applicable to complete chassis cabs over
10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR.
